Houthi Attack on Yemen’s Mocha Kills 7, Injures 30 — Military

Seven people, including four military personnel and three civilians, were killed and 30 others injured after Houthi forces launched missile and drone attacks on the Red Sea port city of Mocha, the Yemeni military said.

According to the military, the attack targeted military positions, civilian infrastructure and residential areas in Mocha.

Yemeni air defences intercepted and destroyed 11 Houthi drones involved in the assault, the military said.

Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah television broadcast footage showing the launch of ballistic missiles and drones. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the attacks targeted Saudi troop concentrations and weapons depots.

The latest attack adds to growing regional tensions involving the Houthis and their military operations in the Red Sea region.

Reuters reported that the Yemeni military confirmed the casualties in a statement issued early Monday.
